In the mood for some fall baking? Me, too! I’m cozying up with these apple carrot muffins and a cup of coffee. My dog, Cookie, is hoping for some crumbs. As February wraps up, we are still in a tundra here in Bend. Spring feels distant and I’m craving hearty, cozy comfort foods. This is a busy time of year for me, so dinners have to be FAST with minimal ingredients. Here’s what our family is currently devouring on regular rotation. Yes it's OK to repeat easy meals that you know your kids will actually eat!!
Creamy Roasted Butternut and Red Lentil Soup. Grab the recipe here. Photo by Tara @Kitchenbookshelf. These are the Rise & Run recipes I make the most frequently and they helped me during training for Project Eclipse (6 marathons in 42 days!). I was horribly distracted when I was making these (college football had more of my attention than the recipe did) and I think I may have either forgotten an ingredient or left them in the oven a touch too long. I want a re-do because they were delicious anyway, just a little dry. I also served these up to our 5K race volunteers and they were a crowd-pleaser. Seems like kids would like these a lot for breakfast. I actually used them as a dessert—admittedly a wholesome, healthy dessert, but I’m generally sold on anything with chocolate chips. —Erin Erin’s Favorite: Race Day Superhero Muffins pecans– the perfect nut pairing for this recipe! You can swap for a different nut of choice, dried fruit or skip all together if you’d like. We devour bowls of whole milk yogurt topped with granola and berries. They also happen to be one of our favorite frozen fruits for smoothies!But what do we mean by “eat slow”? It represents a way of eating that includes preparing nourishing meals from scratch, sitting down at a table instead of eating on the go, enjoying food in the company of friends and family, seeking out foods that were grown or raised with care, and tuning in to what our bodies need to thrive. This looks to be a really good cookbook for athletes who are willing to cook. The book does seem geared toward runners, and it's written by two runners. I don't know that the CrossFit or Paleo crowd will like it as much as the running crowd. Some of the recipes seem heavy on the carb side. This cookbook is part of the slow cooking trend. Olive oil is rich in monounsaturated fats and vitamin E, which have serious anti-inflammatory effects in the body. It contains a specific potent substance called oleocanthal, which is comparable to ibuprofen for inflammation reduction .
And don’t fear the butter. Fueling up with healthy fats is a great way to start your day. Fat helps transport important vitamins throughout your hardworking body and will help keep you satisfied longer. I have recipes for apple muffins and carrot muffins, but I love this combination of the two. Warming cinnamon brings the fruity apple and earthy carrot flavors together.
Savory Muffins
To thank our incredible fans for their support of our cookbook project, we're giving you a sneak peak of a favorite recipe from Run Fast Eat Slow. We never expected to receive over 650 inspiring stories from each of you in response to our search for runners willing to help us with recipe testing. Thanks for your enthusiasm! Happy baking. XO, Shalane & Elyse Superhero Muffins
In a large bowl, stir together the egg, Parmesan, kale, almond meal, garlic, oregano, fennel seeds, salt, and pepper flakes. Add the bison (or beef) and use your hands to combine the meat. Form the mixture into 12 2-inch meatballs, rolling each meatball firmly in your hands. We hope you love this meal plan and that it gets you inspired to hit refresh and get inspired for Spring and Summer cooking! The Sides Chapter was disappointing for me. I am always looking for healthy sides that are made from nonstarchy vegetables. The ones they include are variations of things I already do. As the only true vegan recipe, the red velvet muffins topped my list of favorites. Though a bit dense, they were truly filling for their size. And despite the earthiness of the beets—the source of the red color—occasionally coming through, the warmth of chocolate overwhelms all else. —Malissa With over 100 recipes in Rise & Run, it can be hard to figure out where to start, so Shalane and Elyse created a list of their personal favorites in case you need some guidance :)chocolate chips – I like to use Lily’s dark chocolate baking chips to keep these low-sugar and vegan. Nothing really groundbreaking, but I appreciated the authors' emphasis on "food as fuel" and that eating well can help with your training and some running-related ailments. (Caveat: I'm not a serious runner like the authors, so their needs are not necessarily my needs...)
Great Deal
